The
.Fl "-wrap <path>"
option can be used to wrap emitted content in a
specific hierarchy.
The path is a set of hierarchical names separated
by the '/' character.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
    xo --wrap top/a/b/c '{:tag}' value

  XML:
    <top>
      <a>
        <b>
          <c>
            <tag>value</tag>
          </c>
        </b>
      </a>
    </top>
  JSON:
    "top": {
      "a": {
        "b": {
          "c": {
            "tag": "value"
          }
        }
      }
    }
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fl "\-open <path>"
and
.Fl "\-close <path>"
can be used to emit
hierarchical information without the matching close and open
tag.
This allows a shell script to emit open tags, data, and
then close tags.
The
.Fl \-depth
option may be used to set the
depth for indentation.
The
.Fl "\-leading-xpath"
may be used to
prepend data to the XPath values used for HTML output style.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
    #!/bin/sh
    xo --open top/data
    xo --depth 2 '{tag}' value
    xo --close top/data
  XML:
    <top>
      <data>
        <tag>value</tag>
      </data>
    </top>
  JSON:
    "top": {
      "data": {
        "tag": "value"
      }
    }
